If you read through the comments perhaps you will get the issue.
One more time with feeling: the WBC have rules. These rules are published for everyone to see. They say the split in the case of a purse bid will be 70/30, though this may be altered in favour of the challenger to a more even split.
Rather than do this, they have gone to a split in greater favour of the champion, which their rules do not appear to allow.
To sort this out, the issue has gone to a court of arbitration, who will rule on whether it is OK or if it is not OK.
Whether Whyte was knocked out by a 40-year-old Povetkin would not seem pertinent to this decision.
